Well of course laughing AT people you dislike is a classic bullying

Yet bullies never make jokes about themselves, because they are
often humourless sociopaths.
Dunno if this is on topic but I thought I'd mention it anyway, just
in case.
May be the joke was a bit too gross.
We can laugh at the little misery of the others, and we can laugh at
the big misery on ourselves, but we cannot laugh at the big misery of
the others.
The line is fuzzy, and partly cultural, that is why there is something
like diplomacy.
